Commentary by Elaine B.

Winter Solstice is today marking
in our northern hemisphere the beginning of winter and
the shortest daylight hours, only to increase until the
Summer Solstice in June. It is also Humbug Day,
recognizing the Scrooges, grinches and curmudgeons who
such the joy out of the holiday season. It is a
stressful time of year and a time to acknowledge we may
be expecting too much than is humanly possible. This is
a good time to simplify the holidays and lessen our load
to allow more joy to be spread.
Discussion with Featured Guest:
1. Lauren Ornelas
enlarges our view of food, as nutrition, as a commodity
requiring much human labor, and as a vital community
bond that requires respect for one another. The
mission of the Food Empowerment Project is to "create a
more just and sustainable world by recognizing the power
of one’s food choices. We encourage healthy food choices
that reflect a more compassionate society by
spotlighting the abuse of animals on farms, the
depletion of natural resources, unfair working
conditions for produce workers, and the unavailability
of healthy foods in low-income areas." This can
mean purchasing chocolate that is harvested not with
child slavery but with fair wages. The FEP website has
information and guides to more ethical shopping for
food, as well as more humanely grown food. Lauren is a
vegan and explains her reasons for not eating the
flesh of animals and some animal products.
About our Guest: Lauren Ornelas is the
founder of Food Empowerment Project (F.E.P.), a vegan
food justice nonprofit that promotes veganism, fights
for workers, and works on lack of
access to healthy foods in Black and Brown communities.
She has been an animal activist for three decades,
during which she has launched numerous groups,
investigated factory farms, run consumer campaigns, and
helped stop the construction of an industrial dairy in
California. Watch Lauren's TEDx talk on The Power of Our
Food Choices. Learn more about F.E.P.'s work on her
website.
